In a highly competitive computer market Apple computers has decided to do some serious upgrades to help keep competitive with the growing speeds of processors. The newest change for the company is switching to the new Santa Rosa Intel processors that are offering faster processor speeds as well as increasing the bus speeds that are possible.

While the MacBooks have always been known as a powerful computer in a small package they are now kicking it up even further. With the addition of the Santa Rosa processors Apple has decided to add a nice speedy 2.6GHz model to the lineup, which previously included only a 2.2GHz and 2.4GHz model. In addition, the change is also speeding up the front side bus speed for a generous 667NHz to a faster 800MHz speed.

Overall, these changes are adding up to some very powerful machines that have a lot to offer people in a reasonably small package. While the 13” monitors are a bit of a turn off for some people, the extremely small overall size is a huge draw as well. Bringing the power of a dual core processor into the computer and all at a reasonably affordable price is proving to be a very wise decision for Apple as the company continues to work to improve their overall product line.
